Bed bugs can happen to anybody. You can prepare all summer long by keeping your living quarters clean, repelling all feral animals and making visitors take off their shoes before entering, but bed bugs can still find their way into your home. And once these itchy, scratchy, annoying insects get in, they’re very difficult to get out.

Colonial Pest Control uses a comprehensive method of removing these tiny pests. In addition to traditional pesticides that kill the adult bugs, we also seek out their nesting areas and kill the eggs and younger generations ourselves. This thorough approach ensures that those bed bugs in the egg stage won’t mature and attack you all over again.

We’ll even come back for a second visit two weeks later to ensure that all generations are terminated. Our experience has taught us that this method gives customers complete eradication of even the worst bed bug infestation.

Cockroach Extermination

In towns like Durham, cockroaches can become a huge problem, especially in the summer months. As the weather becomes more damp and humid, cockroaches live in the most humid places: heating vents, near pipes, and worst of all, sewers.

There are three main types of cockroaches that can invade Durham homes. The American, German, and Oriental varieties all have slightly different appearances and characteristics, but there is no mistaking a cockroach for anything else. Some can climb walls, some can fly, and all can leave behind harmful pathogens that can make you and your family sick (after all, they come from the sewers).

Colonial Pest Control uses comprehensive techniques to cut a hole in the generational fabric of cockroach nests. By killing the eggs, nymphs, and adults like we do with bed bugs, you’ll be able to maintain a clean, healthy home.

Bat Removal

Because of Durham’s proximity to many sources of water, there are many insects like mosquitoes and gnats that seek the delicious skin of the town’s unsuspecting residents. Enter: bats.

Bats are a protected species due to their extraordinary role in reducing insect populations naturally. However, their existence in your home or on your property can result in harmful illnesses to your family because of the bats’ feces or inadvertent bites. Their droppings are host to toxic pathogens that could cause sickness in humans, so call Colonial Pest Control as soon as you notice bats in your attic, in the eaves of your roof or elsewhere around your property.

We only use natural, humane methods of removal. First, we identify the main place the bats use to enter your attic. Then we install a special door that prevents the bats from entering but allows them to leave. Once we seal the other areas of your home that could potentially be used as entry points, the bats are naturally encouraged to move to a more suitable location.

If you believe your property has an infestation of any kind, call our experts today for a thorough inspection. In addition to our decades of experience, we use the extensive knowledge of two on-staff entomologists to create a pest management plan that meets your specific needs. Even if you aren’t perfectly sure what kind of pest control you need, our experts can surely figure it out quickly and accurately.

We not only want you to feel safe and pest-free in your home, but we want you to feel like you were taken care of by your own neighbors—because that’s exactly what we are. Call us today at 1-800-525-8084.

Mark was great to work with. Carpenter ants signal a greater problem with moisture. Have to have a company in to look at water seepage.
